Medicinal plants, diabetes mellitus, herbal, insulin sensitivityAbstract
Incidences and related mortality are rising for diabetes mellitus, one of the world's leading health issues across the world. Inadequate blood sugar control has detrimental effects on human health. Conventional antidiabetic medications are effective, but they also have unavoidable side effects. Conversely, medicinal plants might serve as a different source of antidiabetic substances. With an emphasis on preclinical and clinical research, examples of therapeutic herbs that may help lower blood sugar levels. The profile of physiologically active chemicals in each plant matrix, their coordinated and combined activity, and the possible advantages are examined.
